Default Best engine??

Hey guys! I just joined this forum and I’m asking for thoughts on which engine you guys think is going to be most reliable in the long term as well and which one you prefer out of the 5.0L V8 and the 3.5L V6 ecoboost with turbo as I am looking to buy a 2018 f150 in the coming months. I’m leaning V8 personally. Thoughts?

I vote for the one that goes a million miles without gas or an oil change.

I like the 12 liter V12 48 valve quadro overhead cam twin turbo Egobeast best. It gets it. Gonna order a new Ranger with it. Runs on 100% alcohol.

Check YouTube. There's one where they ask a bunch of Ford techs which one they think is best. It influenced my buy.

If you get an EcoBoost, be sure to install this to get max boost/HP/Street Cred
